T all whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, DARIUs C.

Referring now to the drawings, the present invention comprises a board 5which is of oblong shape and which is provided with upwardly extendingsides 6 and ends 7. The board is divided transversely into two divisions8 and 9 by a-central division piece 10, secured at its ends to the sides6 and resting with its lower edge against the board 5. The lower edge ofthe division piece is provided with a plurality of spaced notches 11,each of which a game may be which is of a size and shape to receive amarble or other small sphere therewithin, and the board 5 is providedwith a plurality of depressions 12 in its upper face, one lying beloweach of the notches 11, and arranged for the reception of spheres 13 toprevent their accidental dislodgment from within the notches.

In playing the game, a sphere 13 is dis- 4 posed in each of thedepressions 12. Two

other spheres 14 are employed and are disposed one in each of thedivisions S and 9 of the board, and these spheres are shot or otherwiseimpelled by the players in the direction ofthe division piece' 10, theobject being to cause the spheres 14 to dislodge the spheres 13 fromtheir positions, and the player dislodging the larger number of sphereswins the game.

What is claimed is A game-board comprising a base-board having a seriesof concavities located at the transverse middle thereof, vertical sidessecured tothe edges of said board and extending above the same andthroughout the entire length thereof and a division piece secured at itsends to the said sides and resting with its lower edges upon the upperface of said board, said division piece being provided in its lower edgewith a series of arch notches in registration with the said concavitiesin the board, the said board being free of obstructions upon either sideof said division piece` In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, inpresence of two witnesses.
